Abstract (en)

A transport system includes a track, transport vehicles, an area controller, buffers, and a host controller. The area controller, when the number of the transport vehicles present within a control area is a prescribed number and when receiving a first transport command for conveying an article from a transfer port to a transport destination outside the control area from the host controller, stores therein the first transport command and transmits a report indicating that the first transport command cannot be assigned to the transport vehicle to the host controller. The host controller, when receiving the report, when a buffer is available, transmits a command for deleting the stored first transport command to the area controller, generates a second transport command for conveying the article from the transfer port to the buffer, and transmits the second transport command to the area controller.
